Gitterrätsel junior

find words and pictures

Gitterrätsel Junior is, like Gitterrätsel, based on the principle of finding words in a grid of letters, accompanied by correlating images and words.

The round task cards, called puzzle areas, offer three different levels of difficulty and kinds of tasks. On the red puzzle areas you can find word/image puzzles, on the blue image/image puzzles and on the green puzzle areas there are word/word puzzles.

A puzzle area of the chosen difficulty is placed in the unit and you turn the transparent cover until the first puzzle appears. The solution - either a series of images, or an image next to the word + the word or the word only - must be found in the grid in a straight horizontal, vertical or diagonal line. If you find the solution you grab the totem, squeeze it to make it squeak, and cover, if the solution is correct, all parts of it, that is, each image or letter in the word, with a chip of your color. If you squeeze the totem and cannot point out the solution, you must pass for the rest of the round and can only participate again for the next puzzle. Should a new word or a new series of images cross a solution already covered with chips, you must remove the previous chip and replace it with one in your color. When all solutions have been found or if someone is out of chips, you win, if you have most chips on the board.

This junior edition very nicely varies the mechanisms of Gitterrätsel for pre-school children and first-grade pupils, reading ability is not necessary as the puzzle is visible and the solution can be found by comparison; on red areas image-word correlation is trained.
